In the Anime
In the anime, he teaches classes on training Ghost-types. He knows that most Ghosts lack physical power, and relies on disabling his opponent by confusing or frightening them.
He aids in protecting the Towers of Ecruteak, and is a student of the legends surrounding them. As such, he has a close relationship with Eusine.
Ash was able to defeat him by relying on his Noctowl's Foresight to weaken his ghosts and make them vulnerable to conventional attacks.
